Katz provides a service that this web site sorely needs; he gives a good perspective on where we, collectively, are going. Otherwise this would just be one more technical site, where you couldn't see the forest for the trees. I read slashdot because it is an easy way for me to stay current, hell, expand my scope (I did a serious career change last year and I am now a computer guy making a decent living). But one of the things that has me checking slashdotat least once a day is a hope that I'll see a new posting from Mr. Katz. I believe his assessment of the promises and pitfalls of this new world we're creating to be a fair one.
